Coolant1. Remove the reservoir tank cover
by removing the screw.
2. Check the coolant level in the res-
ervoir tank when the engine is cold
as the coolant level will vary with
engine temperature. The coolant
level should be between the maxi-
mum and minimum marks.
3. If the level is low, remove the rid-
er’s seat, open the reservoir tank
cap and add coolant or distilled
water to raise it to the specified
level. (See page 3-10 for seat re-
moval procedures.)4. Install the reservoir tank cap and
rider’s seat.
5. Place the reservoir tank cover in
the original position and install the
screw.

6 Observe these precautions:
l
When checking the fluid level,
make sure the top of the master
cylinder is level by turning the han-
dlebars.
l
Use only the designated quality
brake fluid. Otherwise, the rubber
seals may deteriorate, causing
leakage and poor brake or clutch
performance.
l
Refill with the same type of brake
fluid. Mixing fluids may result in a
harmful chemical reaction and
lead to poor brake or clutch perfor-
mance.
l
Be careful that water does not en-
ter the master cylinder when refill-
ing. Water will significantly lower
the boiling point of the fluid and
may result in vapor lock.
l
Brake fluid may deteriorate paint-
ed surfaces or plastic parts. Al-
ways clean up spilled fluid
immediately.
l
Have a Yamaha dealer check the
cause if the brake fluid level goes
down.

BatteryThis motorcycle is equipped with a
sealed-type battery. Therefore it is not
necessary to check the electrolyte or fill
the battery with distilled water.l
If the battery seems to have dis-
charged, consult a Yamaha deal-
er.
l
If the motorcycle is equipped with
optional electrical accessories, the
battery tends to discharge more
quickly, so be sure to recharge it
periodically.
